Zagreb Series Chess Set Ebonized & Boxwood Pieces with Mahogany & Maple Molded Edge Board - King

This unique handcrafted chess set includes our Zagreb with ebonized and natural boxwood pieces matched with our Mahogany and Maple Molded Edge Chess Board. Our Zagreb series chess sets have been a mainstay in our collection for decades. This design became prominent in the 1950's when it was first used in the World Championship Candidates Match held in Zagreb in 1959. This is a large chess set with a tall king and a base diameter of 1.625". Pieces are made from ebonized and natural boxwood and are heavily weighted for exceptional stability on the chess board. Thick green baize pads on the bottom create a soft cushion and allow the pieces to slide smoothly across the chess board. The uniquely shaped knight with its arched neck and turned down head is what distinguishes this chess set from others. As is often found on eastern European sets, the king, queen, and bishop finials are made in the opposite color of the main body.Our Mahogany and Maple Molded Edge Chess Board from Rechapados Ferrer combines classic design with elegant features to create an eye-catching battle field for your chess game. This is an inlaid chess board handcrafted from high quality mahogany and maple veneer and sealed with a polyurethane finish that both protects and enhances the beauty of the wood. A wide black delimiter accentuates the playing field and enhances the rich color of the mahogany while the black stained molded edge highlights the entire board. The squares are 2.125" and the footprint of the board is 21.5" square. Four felt pads on the bottom will protect whatever furniture the board sets on.Chess Pieces: Ebonized Boxwood & Boxwood; King Height: 3.875"; King Base: 1.625"; King Weight: 3 Ounces; Chess Set Weight: 50 Ounces; 2 spare queens are included for pawn promotion; Green Baize Pads; Chess Board: Material: Mahogany & Maple Veneer over Wood Composites; Finish: Satin Polyurethane; Sycamore Delimiter Around Squares; Molded Edge; Square Size: 2.125"; Overall Dimensions: 21.5" x .5" Thick;.
